MIUI Rom - Nook Color General

Would you guys be interested in a MIUI rom?
I've been playing around with porting one. I'm a newb but, I want to see how many people are interested in a MIUI rom
It has crazy good UI, and a great theme engine. It's a little less feature rich compared to CM7, but it's got the looks

I would love the launcher part (not having a separate app draw. On a phone MIUI is my favourite - the Maddog's lates CM7 has such great tablet functionality - it would be great if they were combined!

MIUI-whites and a MIUI-flow on the Nook? I'd def. wanna check that out but only if it were tablet-friendly.

If it was tablet friendly, HELL YES.

i would use it for a while test it out if you need help with anything contact jamezelle he ports for thunderbolt fascinate and droid and he could probably give you some tips

yep
id love it

I am interested

i would be interested

So....... where's the download link already?!!!!!

"Ultimate droid"

My buddy has that on his milestone. Its a almost all customizeable rom. Is there any cappy roms that are really really customizable? That rom adds a million options to every menu...

Like what?
If you don't know what you're looking for, we can show it to you.
He's probably referring to the "Ultimate Settings" mod the creator of UD added to the Settings.Apk of the ROM.
He added a whole new menu of options to Settings.Apk that basically gives the user a whole new level of customization of the phone. MANY admin settings are in there. And a lot of options to fine tune some of the big settings from the other menu's.
Ultimate Droid is definitely one of the most robust Android ROM's available. Too bad BlackDroid only really develops for the Droid 1/2/X phones. Although he's supposed to be working on a Fascinate version, which I would love to port once it's out. Mikey, you should look at some videos of the newest Ultimate Droid ROM. GREAT IDEAS.
P.S. His window animations are pretty slick as well, but they need actual porting I think, because they cause some FC's on Serendipity
A buddy of mine has a Droid 1 and although I love my cappy, Serendipity and Perception, I drool over his phone. Some of the ROMS for that thing are just ridiculous, Ultimate Droid being just one of them.
And right now, as much as you can do stylistically with those ROMS, all I really care about really is getting the CRT style animation.
It's alright, we might be a couple months behind, but we'll get there.
I hope UD comes to a cappy near us soon!

CM7 vs Miui

Do you guys prefer CM7 or Miui? I have been on CM7 for a few weeks and just flashed Miui. They are both 2.3.3 android although CM7 is closer to stock AOSP. I can see some benefits with both roms, and am wondering what others think.
I would go with cyanogen mod7.

This is all preference. I find both awesome, miui takes more user bug fixes and work arounds. Both are beta. Advanced users, or users who have a good working knowledge of their phone should only flash either.
MIUI

I tried both. I agree with quoted above. I just came back to CM7 becoz I didn't like MIUI ui. Its so different then I ever saw. Lol

I think I like CM7 more. Miui is too much like an iphone. I think thats what they are trying to copy. For example, rather than have an app drawer, you have to store your apps in folders on the homescreen, just like on the iphone.

Yes I like an app draw, so I created a folder and placed all apps not on home screen in it then placed it on dock. I get the iphone comparison but there are many differences between miui and ios
MIUI
Guys u can install any drawer like adw and use miui like any regular android
What i miss in CM 7 are some modifications like lockscreen Gestures, custom app starters , arabic language
But the MIUI still has some awesome features like low battery mode, pimped out notification pull down menu, etc...
so am pretty lost
I agree

I am using it with ADW launcher EX. Thats pretty nice.
I'm running cm7 miui wasn't stable for me on my captivate.

If you know enough, I would just use both really, setup cm7 the way you like it then nandroid it. Set up miui the way you like it then nandroid it. Restore when you want one or the other. Works for me. Best of both worlds
Ps do not try to nandroid restore on other roms to roms. This works like that with miui and cm7 for they share same base.

Can I flash MIUI over CM7?
didn't see a reply on this so i decided to jump in and answer this. From what I know, both are 2nd-init roms and you can flash miui over cm7. and just to note, you should NOT use bootstrapper in both roms whatsoever.
hope this helps.
And as far as the two comparisons/choice, I go with CM7. I am currently running nightly 38 without a single problem. From what I have been reading, there are too many bugs running around miui. However, I really like the way customizing is set up for miui. you can overlap themes and lockscreens. I think i might give miui a try when it becomes a bit more stable. Maybe flash miui and then flash nightly 50's CM7. haha.
MIUI <3 Way better customizations and i believe android is all about customizations

New MIUI lockscreen on cm7

Is it possible to make the new miui lockscreen flashable just like the miui camera is?
Should be able to. Just try to push it to system/app before you do just to make sure its gonna to work first.
The lockscreen in miui isn't an apk so I don't think it is that easy. I doubt their lockscreens will work on other rom's either.
Oh ok. well I don't know much about miui. Im sure someone could figure it out though
Just use MIUI its better anyway.... Has Iphone, sense3.0, and gingerbread lockscreens without zips to install just go into themes...
I'm pretty sure it's tied into the framework... so, lots of work to do there if you're truly interested, haha. I'd use MIUI but CM7 is just faster and there's a million more, IMO, useful customization features compared to MIUI... pretty much the whole Cyanogenmod Settings tab. The one thing that really bugs me about MIUI is the menu system. It's beautiful, as it replicates that of the iPhone, but it's always been so laggy for me, I can't deal with it.

That's a shame. From the pictures, it looks like a combination between the honeycomb ring/ripple-lock and the sense 3.0 ring-lock. Both of which I like, so the newest miui lockscreen had me all excited. Lol

MIUI is built from open source but the rom itself isn't open source. It simply isn't possible.
MIUI > Vanilla Android
I was a loooooooooong time CM6 and CM7 user. But the latest MIUI is blazing. IMHO it's faster than CM7 in day to day use (I don't benchmark) and more stable.
MIUI has so many hidden subtleties throughout the ROM. Use it for a week and see if you like it
I liked MIUI in the froyo days. It was super stable and smooth. However ever since Gingerbread it's been much laggier across the board and far less stable than the froyo build. Swiping between homescreens is no longer smooth unless you use a hack that disables wallpaper scrolling (miuiandroid build) or keep your homescreens widget free with minimal icons. Of course if you use an alternate launcher then that isn't even a concern. But as mentioned earlier, the menus are also very laggy and annoying to use. I will admit the new dark theme makes it look a dream, but it has a bug that makes screen rotation take a relatively long time to flip and as such less usable.
CM7 may not have the aesthetic superiority that MIUI has but at least everything is smooth and gingerbread. I would love to see the MIUI lockscreen on CM7 but that will never happen.

To all that have a complaint about MIUI - the rotation lag is normally tied to a theme at the moment, I don't get lag anywhere else. Make sure you try your favorite launcher as well - I don't like the one that comes with it but if I swap over to Go launcher everything is nice and smooth again and I can find my stuff!
On the other hand, I have never found a rom other than CM7 with so much raw speed. CM7 will restore all my stuff insanely fast - all others are fairly slow in comparison. But how often do you go restoring everything unless you swap roms daily and are on fresh builds! I have really been enjoying MIUI lately, especially with the new themes and lock screens.
I'd say my favorite thing about MIUI is not having to install a decent camera app everytime. That was kind of annoying with CM7 which is otherwise wonderful as is.

Sense Themes for CM7

Hi all...read about Sense themes for other phones on CM7...
I downloaded the sense.apk and I want to know if it is in fact working ok on the TB.
I'm not a fan of LPP, ADW, etc. I like sense. Hate all you want...lol.
I would like to try the CM underpinnings with the Sense face/feel.
TIA!
you are completely defeating the purpose of putting CM7 on your thunderbolt. If you like sense stick with the sense roms if you hate sense like a good percentage of people out there go with CM7.
Maybe I'm not understanding properly.
A sense theme is a bit different than running sense itself, no?
I would like the speed and battery life of CM7 but the look of sense.
The speed and life would still be CM7 based, not sense based...or am I way off base here?
Maybe a better question is...has anyone on CM7 tried a sense theme and reported differences in speed and battery life...?

Not true at all. Some use CM7 because Sense is so bloated, not necessarily for looks. I wouldn't mind having the speed and lightweight of CM7 with the looks of Sense.
Also, to the OP. You can make the device look like Sense with the 'HTC Elegance, theme and LPP with some tweaks to make it look like Sense, but it would be too much to get the Sense launcher onto CM7 if that's what you're asking.

Exactly what I was getting at. Thank you!
I'm looking for the correct link for these themes that will work on the TBolt.
Or...is CM7 generic in this nature? I've got a great CM7 nandroid I keep going back and playing with...this would be the icing on the cake possibly.
Try inj3cttheory its a desensed Rom with most of the best parts of sense lest in its fast great battery life but still has a slight sense feel

If you are using themes, as long as you download one that says 'hdpi', you should be set. I'm not sure if HTC Elegance is hdpi (i believe it is), but as long as it's hdpi you shouldn't have a problem using the theme on CM7
This should, in fact, work on CM7 for the TB

Thank you to all. Gonna give CM a fighting chance.

Totally forget the name right now, but there is a launcher that will mimic the Sense style launcher.... It also does a few other styles. Hopefully someone else knows what I'm talking about and can give you a name.

TW AOSP look ROM?

On my SE Arc I am running JJ's Hybrid ROM which uses the Sony stock ROM as a base but is heavily tweaked to look like AOSP. Is there any thing like this for the Note - maybe a combination of ROM and a theme? Basically I like the look of AOSP but would like all full functionality of TW. Thanks.
I have been wondering the same. I have not come across anything.

I don't really understand this - why don't you just install another launcher that looks more like AOSP? My personal choice is Nova, but there are plenty of others.

Of course I can install another launcher – but that is not my issue. In many ways I do not actually mind TW Home and sometimes use this as well as Nova when I am on a Touch Wiz ROM. But what I do not like about Touch Wiz is the more than launcher it is the settings menus, the icons and the overall look. JJ’s hybrid ROM looks AOSP but gives you full functionality – something that no CM/AOKP ROM I have ever tried has managed to do (actually there is the 2.3 ROMs on my Hannspad), although don’t get me wrong I do appreciate the devs work and I have happily donated when using those ROMs. But with CM9 we are missing the FM radio and on the Note we are also missing the MHL HDMI functionality. I don’t often use these these but occasionally I do. JJ’s ROMs have been on my Arc since March. For me this is a record as I am a complete ROM whore.
At the moment I am using Chrack’s v12 and I am happy, but still looking….
